These shoe clips are a decortaive accessory made from the bottom of plastic bottles
Step 1Cutting the plastic bottle
First, find a couple of platic bottles and
after washing and cleaning them, cut the bottoms off by pressing the
bottle inward and cutting at the seam.
Step 2More cutting, shaping really ;)
Now, cut again, diagonally and then horizontally along the plastic bottle bootom. What should be left is a flower shape.
Step 4Decorate!
Now you are ready to decorate! I have used
paint and vintage buttons, but really, you could use all sorts of
things: glitter, decoupage, fabric, what ever!
Step 5Glue on the clip
Once you have decorated, you are ready to glue on your clip.
I use clips intended for clip on earrings, so they will not harm your shoe or clothes.
I have not found a superglue yet that will adhere metal to plastic without quickly falling apart, so I put a tiny little piece of fabric between the clip and the plastic bottom to ensure it is secure.
